Anderson is one of the many people who realized she was being scammed when she got the call, but several other victims weren't so lucky.

According to a special agent investigating the scam since April 2016, he outlines in his affidavit, "the organization has targeted victims in an at least 30 states and has received money wired by victims in numerous locations in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

Here's how it works: the victim gets a call, and the caller instructs them to wire money via Western Union or Money Gram locations like Walmart.

An anonymous person referred to as a runner picks up the money for a fee of $20-25, and then they wire it to another account in places like the Dominican Republic.

The affidavit indicates Rodriguez was a leader in the organization, and it also outlines pages of conversation between Rodriguez to the Marcovs and Cody Allen Richey.

The conversation discusses the illegal transfer scheme with phone and account numbers of victims, including how much they took from different people.

According to an attorney who specializes in federal cases, the four suspects will likely serve time in prison and have to pay restitution based on the extent of the crime if they're found guilty.

According to initial findings, nearly 30 people were involved with the entire operation.
